"Squeal like a pig" has a whole new meaning now...

Ray, didn't I see your name in a movie about a "Piggie?"
Didn't really look like you, though. *snicker* *lurk* Sorry 'bout that butt-grabbing business--that does sound a bit scary, actually. On the converse side, I bet it'd be easy for one of the guys to start a thread called "All Women are Stupid, Disgusting B*tches." It only takes a few idiots to make the whole crowd look bad.

I think that thread would sound more like "All Woman Are Manipulating, Cruel and Vindictive C*nts". . . I actually do not find woman all that disgusting. . . that is why I stalk the bushes waiting for young woman so I can pinch their bottoms and flee in hysterics

Last time someone grabbed my a$$, they recieved a beating (from me). I may look petite and harmless, but I'm not. Since then, no one has even dreamed of repeating the act.
Some men can act so immature and stupid, it makes me mad.

Men only?
Pretty divisive comment.

To be fair, I've had women grabbing my a$$... I wouldn't call them pigs, though...

some men are stupid, disgusting pigs -- but in all fairness, I haven't met very many of them. Overall, I'd say men are O.K. and I kind of like them.

Some dude grabbed my ex-girlfriend's a$$, (while we were still dating) and when she turned around, some other dude had a video camera. Unfortunately, I was not there, and could not smash it. Men aren't all like that though, most are really cool.

Maybe you amerikans need to re-appraise your mail system. Mail boxes? Quaint and all, but why? In the UK we have these rectangular holes in our front doors, covered by a draught-proof flap. When the postie delivers our mail, it lands on the doormat - no need to leave the house.

The only thing that occurs to me is a new pair of designer mousetrap shorts. You could market them. It sounds like they'd be a big seller in your area.

Of the many men I know, love, and count as friends, only two are pigs. And I still love them. But they do not represent a majority. Why does everything have to be so black-and-white?
